I was just wondering, is there a utility that lets yo see the total surface area of a .msh file? Meshwizard doesn't seem to have that information, is there anything that does?
Using a msh23ds/obj/whatever plugin (like this: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3101"]Mesh2Object V1.1[/ame]) you can eventually import it into a decent modeling program, which can tell you the surface area. Generally the geometry survives, though textures, groups, etc. are lost.

In Blender go to UserPreferences (file->UserPreferences or ctrl+alt+U) and in the 3DView tab enable addon named Measure Panel.
You're good to go .
With Blender installed and set up you can easily import mesh files directly, without bothering about any conversion or so, pick desired surface and it's area will be under properties panel, like on this screenshot.
